This book was written during a period of great physical upheaval in my life. It took longer to write it than it took its characters to live it, and during the process, I arguably laid my head to rest in more places than they themselves did. For my own entertainment, I’ve tried to compile a list of all the places I dwelt or tarried while writing the book. In an order that roughly reflects how long I spent in each respective place (most to least), here we are.

Islip, NY
Edgartown, MA
Piedmont, CA
Oakland, CA
Vineyard Haven, MA
Leominster, England
West Tisbury, MA
Seeheim-Juggenheim, Germany
London, England
Berkeley, CA
Silver Springs, MD
Belmont, MA
Albany, CA
San Rafael, CA
Llanbister, Wales
